I’m so sorry for your loss. I think of the families on Cumpstone Drive with fond memories.
So sorry for your loss. When I worked at Elim Park I reconnected with your mother and father, Your father was a wonderful person. I got to know a different person then the father of Georgie and Michael. He used to tell everyone at Elim Park I have known her since she was a little girl. Fond memories of Cumpstone Dr. They are partying in heaven.
I am so very sorry to hear of the death of Uncle George. He was such a kind and happy presence in my life, as a child, and as an adult. Christmas Eve with Auntie Anne, Uncle George, and so much family was always the highlight of my year. Their quiet smiles would light up the room. His time at Elim Park as a volunteer meant so much to him. He will be missed by so many. George and Michael, my sympathy and love to your entire family. He and your mom, my mom and dad, Nana and Grandpa are all together now, watching us all.
George and Michael, I was so very sorry to hear about your Dad’s death. Uncle George was so much like Grandpa, sturdy, quiet, kind, a loving family man, and funny. He was such a source of strength when our Mom died. He will be missed by so many people. My favorite time of year was always Christmas with you all. All my love to you both and your family. Your Mom and Dad, my parents, and Nana and Grandpa have waited a long time to be together again.
Georgie, Michael and family…I’m so very sorry to hear this sad news about uncle George. I remember him with a smile in my heart! I have so many memories of Christmas Eve spent with all of you guys and poor Uncle George would be trying to get the smoke to go up the chimney in my parents fireplace abs we’d all be wearing our winter coats because we had to keep the doors open!! Uncle George was a warm, genuine, sweet, loving, wonderful man! He was loved by many and will be missed by many. I’m sure Auntie Anne, my mom and dad, Nana and Pop pop met him with open arms… and they will all watch over all of us. ❤️ My prayers and love are with all of you!
